  • the mobile communication terminal 100 is in a standby state (S 11).
  • the standby state is a state in which the mobile communication terminal 100 is not connected to an external network for communication or data transmission.
  • the controller 190 receives the request for connecting to the external network (S12).
  • the controller 190 receives the request for connecting to the external network through a signal transmitted from the connection unit 120.
  • the controller 190 determines whether the request for connecting to the external network is a request for connecting using an MTP (S13).
  • the controller 190 is connected to the external network using the MTP (S131).
  • the controller 190 transfers the entire control responsibility for signals transmitted from the PC to the MTP module 192. Accordingly, the MTP module 192 directly receives entire signals input through the connection unit 120 and sequentially processes instructions corresponding to the received signals (S 132). In this process, the MTP module 192 stores content files transmitted from the PC in the storage unit 170 or erases and stores the information in the database 172. A process of processing the file through the MTP module 192 and a process of updating the database 172 are already well-known and thus descriptions thereof will be omitted.
  • the controller 190 receives the control responsibility from the MTP module 192, enters step S21, and ends the connection to the external network.
  • the controller 190 connects to the external network using the corresponding protocol (S 14), so that the user can use the external network through the mobile communication terminal 100.
  • the controller 190 receives a request for storing the content file (S15).
  • the controller 190 downloads the selected Song5.mp3 file and stores the file in the storage unit 170 (S16).
  • the user can simultaneously select a plurality of content files and request to store the files. In this case, the controller 190 first downloads and stores any one content file and performs the following process.
  • a data extraction unit 194 of the controller 190 extracts information about the Song5.mp3 file stored in the storage unit 170 (S 17).
  • data such as a filename, format, size, duration are extracted.
  • data such as a title, artist, album, track, and genre, which are stored in an ID3 tag of the content file, are extracted.
  • the data are not limited thereto, various methods such as a method of extracting the stored data by parsing a header part of the content file can be used.
  • the database updating unit 196 of the controller 190 stores the extracted data in the database 172 (S 18). That is, the database updating unit 196 transmits a record addition instruction of the database 172 and data of the Song5.mp3 file extracted at step S 17 to the MTP module 192. Accordingly, the MTP module 192 adds a record of the Song5.mp3 file to the database 172 using the data received from the database updating unit 196. The record of a control number 0005 as in FIG. 3 is added to the database 172 in a state of FIG. 2 .
  • the controller 190 determines whether another content file for which a request for storing is input by the user exists (S 19). That is, when the user simultaneously selects a plurality of content files and requests to store the files at step S15, the controller 190 determines whether another content file to store in addition to the Song5.mp3 file stored in the storage unit 170 exists.
  • step S16 If another content file in which a request for storing is input by the user exists, the controller 190 downloads and stores the corresponding content file by returning to step S16, and then repeatedly executes the process up to step S 18.
  • the controller 190 determines whether a request for ending the connection is input by the user (S20). When the user does not end the connection and continuously use the external network, the controller 190 repeatedly executes the process of steps S 14 to S 19 by returning to step S 14.
  • the controller 190 ends the connection to the external network (S21) and returns to a standby state.
  • a record of the content file can be automatically added to the database 172. Accordingly, content files stored through the MTP and content files stored through another protocol except the MTP can be managed in a bundle using one database 172.
  • the present invention is not limited thereto, and the present invention can variously be applied to a case where the database 172 is automatically updated by only a specific protocol or program.
  • a method of controlling a database executed in the mobile communication terminal 100 is exemplified.
  • the present invention can variously be applied to electronic appliances having a database.
  • various elements and portions of the drawings are exemplified and thus the present invention is not limited to a relative size or space of those shown in the drawings.
  • a record of a content file can automatically be added to the database. Therefore, the content files stored through the MTP and content files stored through a protocol other than the MTP can be managed in a bundle using one database.
